After trying out high-priced hand blender within a year, two and had to scrap because not even soft-boiled or soft pumpkin puree potatoes could, I turned again to Moulinex back. My "old" blender by Moulinex had got small 15 years on the hump and has everything. Eventually he ran out of breath and he had to be retired. The WMF expensive blender that followed was a bad investment. After 10 minutes Dauerpürieren everything still lumpy. After several attempts, I had the rod scrap and bought a Stiftung-Warentest-acclaimed blender from Braun. The same result. The potato masher I got the soups out better than with a hand blender. After only three months of the rod began to run hot and broke. From devices to 60-70 euros I was expecting something better. And now I have the Moulinex DD1001 for scarce 20, - Euro and am completely satisfied. After seconds, the potato soup nicely creamy and avocado cream is creamy. Full marks and with best recommendations for this hand blender. Dear Mr Brown, Mrs WMF, is how a real hand-held blender.
